Early Friday afternoon, police said Stansel tried to pay with two fake bills at the Season Chinese Restaurant on 66th Street N. After a female employee noticed and chased him into the parking lot, Stansel grabbed her arm and punched her in the face, according to reports.

A St. Petersburg police detective saw the incident and immediately arrested Stansel. He remained at the Pinellas County Jail Saturday in lieu of $12,500 bail.
